PPC_HAVE_PMU_SUPPORT is enabled by all 6xx builds, even for hardware like e300 that doesn't have PMU at all (it has the FSL embedded perfmon instead), much less this hv interface. And yes, PPC_PERF_CTRS has the same problem and should be fixed. :-)Yep, I just based this one on what PPC_PERF_CTRS was doing. How about the following: +config HV_PERF_CTRS + bool "Perf Hypervisor supplied counters"
"Support for Hypervisor supplied PMU events (24x7 & GPCI)" ?
+ default y + depends on PERF_EVENTS && PPC_HAVE_PMU_SUPPORT && PPC_PSERIES
I think you just want: depends on PERF_EVENTS && PPC_PSERIES Because you're adding two completely new PMUs, they're not a "struct power_pmu" backend for the existing powerpc PMU implementation. cheers
